Turn your wedding guests into fun illustrations — live on the day!
Hi, I'm Emma and I'm the artist behind Art by Emma Aspris. I'm a live illustrator based in Maldon, Essex and I draw your guests in a fun, comic style. Because I have a passion for comic art I feel that my style is quite unique. I capture peoples character in their poses and subtle details rather than creating realistic portraits. It's light-hearted, colourful and fun which is why so many guests love their illustrations. Its a wedding favour they won't be leaving behind!
Live illustration is becoming really popular because it adds something different to your celebration. It’s a great talking point during your reception and guests are genuinely excited to see their finished illustration.
I draw everyone in a way that people will instantly recognise themselves. I work without templates and draw each person in the exact pose from their photograph, capturing real proportions and personality.
Prices start from £650, with packages tailored to your guest count;

Such a cute and personal addition to our wedding🫶🏽
We also asked Emma if she could incorporate some cute trinkets and anime bits and bobs into her table setup to reflect us as a couple (as we saw from her Instagram account that she had similar interests to us) and she went above and beyond to make it happen! We loved how personal it felt and how much it represented our personalities and the things we love together. Her artwork style is SO cute, and everything came together perfectly! We also got digital copies too!
Emma was such a lovely addition to our wedding, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. If you’re looking for something unique, fun and personal for your wedding, we would 100% recommend her! 💕
Wedding Illustrations - August 2026
Such an amazing experience our guests loved!
A perfect addition to your special day
We'd discussed an illustrator in the early phase of planning our big day, but hadn't really looked into it properly. When we sent our initial request for a quote, we arranged a quick meeting with Emma to discuss what would be best for us. Emma was kind, understanding and accommodating of our requests (one to include a drawing of our puppy, Boycie, who wouldn't be there on the day).
On the day itself, Emma and Elise were brilliant. They set themselves up in a great spot at our venue, made their way around gathering pictures of couples before getting to work on drawing everyone and placing the complete illustrations on the presentation board to be collected.
Feedback that my wife and I have received from literally everyone who attended was that it was really appreciated, getting a thoughtful wedding favour that we also were able to get digital copies of to cherish.
Thank you Emma and Elise for all of your hard work on our special day!
An perfect gift for guests and newlyweds alike
She was great to chat to and organise the day with and was a massive talking point with all our guests who loved the drawings of themselves and for us it was great to see people have an amazing gift from us to take home
We also especially liked looking through them and seeing our loved ones from someone else’s view point
Hire her now to give yourselves and your guests a unique and treasured wedding favour
Best Wedding Favour EVER

Wedding Illustration Artist 💖
Our guests absolutely loved having their portraits drawn, and it became such a fun and memorable part of the reception. It was wonderful seeing everyone excited to have their illustration done, and the finished drawings made such thoughtful and personal keepsakes for our guests to take home.
Emma was lovely to work with, incredibly talented and so professional throughout. She captured people so beautifully while still working quickly enough for lots of our guests to have a portrait, which was really impressive.
We would absolutely recommend Emma to anyone considering live illustration for their wedding or event.
Emma is a lovely talentend queen!!!
The most gorgeous art and perfect addition to the day!
Emma’s amazing illustrations!
Emma was incredibly friendly, super professional, and did an amazing job with the illustrations.
There were lots of children at the party and Emma did incredibly well handling and dealing with them all (which could not have been easy)! The kids all ended up loving watching Emma at work, so as well as providing a great service she was instrumental in adding fun and joy to the event.
We couldn’t recommend Emma enough!!

Hey! I'm Emma and I'm actually a comic artist turned live illustrator! That's how I have learnt to draw so fast. My childhood dream was to become an artist so my work is a dream come true! I'm all about cute artwork that touches people's hearts. If I'm not drawing I love to read comics, play video games and watch anime <3
Hi I'm Elise, Emma's sister. I help Emma on the day of events, helping her to setup her table, taking picture references of guests to turn into illustrations and film all the fun for Emma's socials.
I also handle enquiries, schedules, and all the little details that help everything run smoothly, so Emma can focus on creating beautiful artwork.
